As we wiggled our way over to Northwestern, we immediately fell in love with the charm of its intimate campus. Old buildings with stunning architecture, open spaces shaded by giant trees, and Lake Michigan – what more do you need? :) Clearly, the answer to that is Samantha & Robb because we had so much fun exploring their Alma Mater with them!! These two decided to have their engagement session on the campus where they met, and we always love when couples invite us to a place that is meaningful to them! It was adorable to see Samantha & Robb light up with each other as we made our way around campus :)
After photos in outfit #1 (how much do you LOVE Samantha's dress?!?), some very ominous clouds started following us and the rest of their session included a little game of hide and seek from the rain! At one point, with all of our hairs standing on end, it seemed like lightning might be coming as well -- YIKES! ;)
A treat in the form of Samantha's favorite – cupcakes! – were the perfect addition to her & Robb's photos along the lake, and it was the sweetest ending to a fun afternoon spent with these two. We cannot wait for Samantha & Robb's barn wedding this September in Door County!!
Love, Kelsy & Butch

Give us a lace dress and well-styled couple in a luscious greenery-filled location and we're excited, but then throw in little details like that lovely cut-out in Meghan's dress and the sweet way Tony could make her smile with a slight nose scrunch, and we're in LOVE!
Elizabeth & Chad planned the wedding of a lifetime. With a rustic vintage theme, they thoughtfully planned every element of their DIY wedding. From countless window panes and doors to their family's barn boards and milk bottles from the bride's Dad's personal collection, it's clear that their wedding was a labor of love that came together seamlessly! They chose the 
It was no surprise (though we were ridiculously excited!!) when Jackie & Brandon told us that they had reserved Camp Randall and carved an hour out of their wedding day for us to photograph them right on the field! Being that they are giant Badger fans, this really couldn't have been more perfect. :) After a lovely ceremony filled with special moments with their adorable daughter, Mac, we enjoyed every minute of our time spent running around in the Stadium. Brandon had just gifted all of his groomsmen Air Jordans, and that too felt like a perfect match for Camp Randall ;) Meanwhile, the ladies were an absolute blast and their teal dresses were a stunning backdrop for some seriously gorgeous bouquets made by
